Irfan's New Panel

I got my wish to get a weekend at the apartment - and it was increasingly likely that it would last until next weekend. So far, the boys had been creating havoc in their room. We decided to move the game console from Idlan's room to Irfan's since his room had less windows, as well as being bigger. Idlan's room would later become their study area since it had more light.

And we also bought a small LED panel for the console - I could't complain with RM1299 for a full HD LED 39 inches from Sharp. It was full HD we were talking about. Value for money. And for the evening they had been in front of the TV playing Skylanders.

Come to think of it, I was in need for another panel for my own room. It turned out that they had only the last unit for sale. That particular panel had been selling like hot cake.

Notice Board!

One of the things I picked up during my travel to Kyoto recently was a new notice board for Irfan. Remember that he liked to post up handwritten notices on the door when he was not impressed with something? Now, he has a proper board to write on.

It was written in colourful ink, and completely wipeable using a piece of wet cloth. Perfect! He has yet to put up any notice in anger so far. More entries from my Kyoto trip here.

Them Toys

The toys I bought for the boys from Kyoto proved to be a hit for the boys. Both of them, among others got a remote controlled car each. And oh boy, they literally slept with the cars last night. Irfan especially enjoyed it.

This evening, the room was transformed into a race circuit, complete with ramps and guard rails. Surprisingly the batteries were still not depleted. It went on and on. It won't be long until the cars would be broken I think. But, for the time being, hopefully the cars would keep them occupied for the next week or so .....

Painting Time

I watched Irfan doing his computer project last weekend and was fascinated by the amount of knowledge these seven year-olds actually have concerning computer. And the computer system at his school used both Macs and PCs, and since the main computer was a Mac, he was able to adapt to both system.

First, he composed the paintingSend it to the printerMake sure things were in orderThe task given was to use either Microsoft Paint, or another free software for Mac - Tug Paint I think it was called - to do a drawing, print them and submit them.

Poorly Irfan

When I arrived home, I found that Irfan was fast asleep, missing his Quran class. Anita was out at the time. Irfan is usually very active late afternoon, and love his Quran class since most of his school friends were there. He was baking hot.

The temperature soon settled after some mess, but I think I better stock up on some antibiotics from the clinic just in case. Poor boy ....
